[ANNOUNCE] PyGObject 2.21.4 - unstable
Hi, I am pleased to announce version 2.21.4 of the Python bindings for GObject. The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors as soon as its synced correctly: http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.21/ What's new since PyGObject 2.21.3? - Build the cairo shim as a python module so the _gi module stops linking to it (Tomeu Vizoso) - add drawing area demo (John (J5) Palmieri) - sort the demo list (John (J5) Palmieri) - rename iter to treeiter so we aren't using a python reserved word (John (J5) Palmieri) - Fixup for change in buffer API (John (J5) Palmieri) - add ListStore, TreeStore and TreeViewColumn APIs (John (J5) Palmieri) - Add unit test for add_actions user data. (Ignacio Casal Quinteiro) - Pass user_data param when adding actions (Paolo Borelli) - add an exception type to the try/except block (John (J5) Palmieri) - return PyList instead of PyTuple for array, return empty list for NULL arrays (John (J5) Palmieri) - Fix 'make distcheck' (Tomeu Vizoso) - Allow building pygobject without introspection support by providing --disable-introspection to configure. (Tomeu Vizoso) - Make sure that sys.argv is a list and not a sequence. (Tomeu Vizoso) - Force loading the GObject typelib so we have available the wrappers for base classes such as GInitiallyUnowned. (Tomeu Vizoso) - we shouldn't g_array_free NULL pointers (John (J5) Palmieri) - remove unneeded TextIter creation in the tests (John (J5) Palmieri) - add override for TextBuffer (John (J5) Palmieri) - fix up some build issues (John (J5) Palmieri) - make the overrides file git friendly by appending to __all__ after each override (John (J5) Palmieri) - Override Dialog constructor and add_buttons method (Paolo Borelli) - Merge PyGI (Johan Dahlin) Note to packagers: The configure option --enable-pygi has been removed and we build now introspection support by default. It's not recommend for distros, but if needed, you can build PyGObject without requiring gobject-introspection by passing --disable-introspection. When built with introspection support (the default) we require pycairo as a build dependency. We now install one more python module _gi_cairo.so that links to libcairo and depends on pycairo and that should be packaged separately. Blurb: GObject is an object system library used by GTK+ and GStreamer. PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject library for use in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyGTK, and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications. Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose scripts up to large full featured applications. PyGObject requires glib = 2.22.4 and Python = 2.3.5 to build. GIO bindings require glib = 2.22.4. Please remember that this is an unstable release and shouldn't be used in production.

I was just to make a comparison between Python and JSP.Will Python take the place of JSP? Ah, my apologies, I neglected to notice your post's Subject, which is where you establish the relation to Python. (I hate it when people put critical info in the Subject but don't explicitly mention this in the message body...) You're asking for a very apples-and-oranges comparison. Python is an entire general-purpose programming language (as is Java), whereas JSP is (approximately) a Java web templating technology, something much more specific. So, could Python /itself/ replace JSP? No, of course not; like I said, apples and oranges. Python Server Pages (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_Server_Pages ) vs. JSP would be a more apt comparison. However, PSP per se doesn't seem to be used much. Also, drop-in replacing JSP with PSP or similar would involve extra complexity in trying to integrate the two languages together, and thus probably not be worth the trouble (although Jython might remedy this somewhat). So, zooming out further in order to move towards more sensible comparisons: Can Python replace Java in web applications? Yes, surely. Many significant, successful web applications have been written in Python using various Python web frameworks (e.g. Django), which often include their own Python-based templating system. Is it a good idea to port something from Java to Python just for the sake of using Python? Probably not; if it ain't broke, don't fix it (though that's not to say don't refactor it). Zooming out even further, hopefully to the level of question you meant to ask: Could/Will Python displace Java (and thus JSP) for web programming? Who can say? It would be something of a religious debate. In the abstract, yes, I think it could; the requisite mature, well-designed web frameworks are already extant. Over time, they might attract more newbies than Java frameworks (although I am admittedly only guessing here based on Java stereotypes). Realistically, no, it won't, except perhaps in the extreme long run (Java has too much momentum); but we Pythonistas are having enough fun doing our own web stuff in Python-land that we don't need to try and be hyper-competitive and actively usurp Java's existing niche in the web application ecosystem.

Programs have argv and argc, plus environment variables, going in. So, going in, there are essentially subroutine parameters. But all that comes back is an exit code. They should have had something similar coming back, with arguments to exit() returning the results. Then the many small intercommunicating programs concept would have worked much better. Like others said, you have standard output. sys.stdout for data, sys.stderr for human-readable errors and warnings, and the exit code for machine-readable errors. C was like that once. In the 1970s, all you could return was an int or a float. But that got fixed. Huh? The C we have today cannot return a float, and not even a full int. 0 and 1 work, small integers up to 255 are likely to work, but beyond that common systems (Unix) will chop off the high bits. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn grahn@ Oo o. . . \X/ snipabacken.se O o . -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

As the saying goes: Some people, when confronted with a problem, think I know, I'll use regular expressions. Now they have two problems. They have some uses, e.g. defining tokens[1]. Using them to match more complex constructs is error-prone and should generally be avoided unless you're going to manually verify the result. Oh, and you should never generate regexps dynamically; that way madness lies. [1] Assuming that the language's tokens can be described by a regular grammar. This isn't always the case, e.g. you can't tokenise PostScript using regexps, as string literals can contain nested parentheses. And all the functionality available through the subprocess module and its predecessors? The main reason why everyone recommends subprocess over its predecessors is that it allows you to bypass the shell, which is one of the most common sources of the type of error being discussed in this thread. IOW, rather than having to construct a shell command which (hopefully) will pass the desired arguments to the child, you just pass the desired arguments to the child directly, without involving the shell. The reality is, embedding one language within another is a fact of life. I think it’s important for programmers to be able to deal correctly with it. That depends upon what you mean by embedding. The correct way to use code written in one language from code written in another is to make the first accept parameters and make the second pass them, not to have the second (try to) generate the former dynamically. Sometimes dynamic code generation is inevitable (e.g. if you're writing a compiler, you probably need to generate assembler or C code), but it's not to be done lightly, and it's unwise to take shortcuts (e.g. ad-hoc string substitutions). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python dynamic attribute creation
On 06/25/2010 03:15 PM, WANG Cong wrote: 1) Modifying a class attribute is metaprogramming, and this is modifying a class, i.e. adding a new attribute to it, thus this should belong to metaprogramming. (I know, strictly speaking, maybe my definition of metaprogramming here is incorrect, I _do_ welcome someone could correct me if I am really wrong, but that is not the main point here, please don't go off-topic.) We should define meta programming a little more. First attempt: Programming is the art of writing down instructions such that when executed accordingly will do what has been pre-specified. Meta programming is the art of writing down instructions such that when executed accordingly will program instructions that when executed accordingly will do what has been pre-specified. From this definition I would argue that a dynamic attribute assignement is _not_ meta programming. It is just modifying an object. 2) Metaprogramming should be distinguished with non-meta programming, like templates in C++, it is obvious to see if you are using template metaprogramming in C++. In my opinion meta programming is programming. It's just changing the view a little bit such that the program itself is nothing but data. 3) Thus, allowing dynamic attribute creation by assignment _by default_ is not a good design for me. It is not obvious at all to see if I am doing metaprogramming at a first glance. As said previously I don't think one should differentiate between meta programming and programming within the language, since the former is nothing different than the latter. 4) Also, this will _somewhat_ violate the OOP princples, in OOP, this is and should be implemented by inherence. This is another point. Whether or not a language allows dynamic or static meta programming is completely orthogonal to whether or not it is a pure OO language. Python is not pure OO as others already did explain. You may still use it in pure OO style. If you would like to write your program in a complete OO style than adding an attribute (may as well be a method) from external class Sample(object): pass s = Sample() s.a = 1 has to be completely omitted. The same goes for adding attributes within some method of that particular class. class Sample(object): def addsomething(self): self.a = 1 s = Sample() s.addsomething() This would have to be omitted as well. In a complete OO style _no_ further attributes or methods are allowed to be added beyond the declaration of the class. Where is this declaration in Python? You might argue it is the __init__ method and that only there attributes should be added. This is. however, only a convention in Python. Variable instantiation is dynamic in Python. That is the variable is declared upon assignment. If you fire up an interactive session and write a = 1 then this declares the variable a and assigns a value to that variable. 5) This could hide errors silently, for example, when I do: test.typo = blah Yes. Such a typo would not be detected. 1) Disallow dynamic attribute creations by assignments _by default_, thus I expect an error when I do: So far I only did tell you _how_ it is in Python. If I understand your question about the design of the language correctly than you would like Python to detect the typo. Let's for the moment assume that the declaration would be decoupled from assigning a value. The first thing that would have to change is that in a class declaration we would have to specify at least the names of the attributes and methods. E.g. class Sample(object): var a def __init__(self): self.a = 1 s = Sample() s.b = 1 - Exception This however would furthermore change the way you would have to write a function and a method due to possible internal variables def somefunc(): var a var b a = 1 b = 2 return a+b As soon as you would need a variable you would always first have to declare that variable and then assign a value. Even on the interactive shell you would have to do so: var a a = 1 b = 2 - Exception Why would this declaration be necessary on the shell and in the function/method? Declaring a variable means adding that variable to the namespace, i.e. the underlying dictionary. There is one in each object, the locals() of a function or even the __dict__ of a module. The downside of this is that Python has no such thing as a variable without a value. Still you would need such a thing for this approach var a a - should raise an variable 'unset' exception The underlying dictionary would need the ability to store keys (variable names) without values. This approach increases the code length considerably, just to catch the typos. Keep in mind that the module you are writing in is just an object as is any function or method. So using local variables therein you are doing exactly what you want to abandon from the OOP part. Regards Andre --

However, not every programming language has
the kind of structural flexibility to do that well: a library similar
to SQLalchemy would be incredibly clunky (if it worked at all) in,

Java or C#, and it'd be nearly impossible to pull off in C.
I guess you've never used LINQ in C# then?
Microsoft did a pretty impressive job with LINQ: they provided a set of
methods that may be used to query SQL databases and the same methods
also work on any other sequence-like types. They also produced a DSL
that compiles into the LINQ method calls which means that those who
prefer SQL syntax can use it to process non-SQL data.
A LINQ expression produces a generator that allows you to iterate over
the result set (and you can re-use the generator so that if it depends
on the values of other variables or attributes each time you iterate you
get a different set of results).
When you use LINQ on a SQL database internally it generates the correct
SQL to produce the result set on the SQL server, when you use it on an
array or other such sequence it uses generic functions compiled for the
appropriate data types. In order to be able to do this they changed the
language to allow expressions to compile either to executable code or to
a parse tree. For example:
var participants =
Competition.GetParticipants()
.Where(participant= participant.Score 80)
.OrderByDescending(participant = participant.Score)
.Select(participant = new { participant.Id,
Name=participant.Name });
If this is operating on a database table the Where method is overloaded
to accept a parse tree as its argument and it can then use that to
generate SQL, but for .Net objects the Where method simply uses the
lambda expression as a callable delegate.

Re: validate string representation of a timedelta

I'm looking for a good way to check whether a certain string is
valid. It is a string representation of a Python timedelta object,
like this: '0:00:03.695000'
(But the first place, the hours, could also be double digits)
In trying to figure out how to validate that, I saw this page which
creates a parseTimeDelta(s) function, which takes that kind of string
and returns a timedelta object:
http://kbyanc.blogspot.com/2007/08/python-reconstructing-timedeltas-from.html
(and I agree that this sort of function should come standard with
datetime)
I modified the code to accept microseconds, too, and I can use it now
by trying to parse my candidate string and if it throws an exception,
rejecting that string as invalid. It works fine on strings that are
not even close to my format, like '0 min'. But it doesn't throw an
exception on something like: '0:00:03.695000extrajunk'
I'd like it to be pickier than that with the validation and only
accept strings which are truly string representations of timedelta
objects. But I have not learned regex yet, so am not sure how to
modify parseTimeDetla so it wouldn't work with
'0:00:03.695000extrajunk'.
My question: is there a simple way to modify the parseTimeDelta so
that it will work ONLY with a string that would be the string
representation of a timedelta object?
If you want the end of the regexp to correspond to the end of the
string, add a $ at the end of the regexp.
Alternately, is there an easier/more Pythonic approach to validate
this kind of string?
Or you could do something along the lines of:
shrs, smins, ssecs = s.split(':')
# convert, do things.

Re: Why Python3
I should point out that this wasn't a mere whimsy on Guido's part. Mathematically, supporting larger-than and less-than comparisons on complex numbers *is* a bug -- they're simply meaningless mathematically. (Which is greater, 2-1i or -1+2i?) However, that's true for many other values that *where* ordered in 2.x. Which is greater, (1,2) or [1,2]? It's meaningless mathematically. Likewise (if you claim that comparing lists and tuples is like comparing apples and oranges) - how should these be ordered: file(/etc/passwd), file(/etc/group), and sys.stdin? What Python needs[1] is a sorting operator, which is allowed to return a consistent if arbitrary sort order (perhaps lexicographic sort order?), separate from the ordinary and operators. This would allow the caller to sort lists of arbitrary items for display purposes, without implying anything about the relative size of items. And indeed, that's available, by means of the key= argument to list.sort. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

(I know, strictly speaking, maybe my definition of metaprogramming here is incorrect, I _do_ welcome someone could correct me if I am really wrong, but that is not the main point here, please don't go off-topic.) We should define meta programming a little more. First attempt: Programming is the art of writing down instructions such that when executed accordingly will do what has been pre-specified. Meta programming is the art of writing down instructions such that when executed accordingly will program instructions that when executed accordingly will do what has been pre-specified. From this definition I would argue that a dynamic attribute assignement is _not_ meta programming. It is just modifying an object. Yeah, probably this is the correct and strict definition of metaprogramming. Thanks for correction. However, as I said above, I just wanted to borrow the word metaprogramming to express my meaning. What I meant is actually programming classes, you can call it class-programming if not metaprogramm. snip 3) Thus, allowing dynamic attribute creation by assignment _by default_ is not a good design for me. It is not obvious at all to see if I am doing metaprogramming at a first glance. As said previously I don't think one should differentiate between meta programming and programming within the language, since the former is nothing different than the latter. If you check other programming language rather than Python, it is different. Even in Ruby which is also a dynamic language. snip Python is not pure OO as others already did explain. You may still use it in pure OO style. Yeah, even C can also have some OO style. But that is not the point. snip 1) Disallow dynamic attribute creations by assignments _by default_, thus I expect an error when I do: So far I only did tell you _how_ it is in Python. If I understand your question about the design of the language correctly than you would like Python to detect the typo. Let's for the moment assume that the declaration would be decoupled from assigning a value. Nope, I would like Python not to allow adding a new attribute via an assignment by default, detecting the typo is a side-effect. The first thing that would have to change is that in a class declaration we would have to specify at least the names of the attributes and methods. E.g. class Sample(object): var a def __init__(self): self.a = 1 s = Sample() s.b = 1 - Exception This however would furthermore change the way you would have to write a function and a method due to possible internal variables def somefunc(): var a var b a = 1 b = 2 return a+b As soon as you would need a variable you would always first have to declare that variable and then assign a value. Even on the interactive shell you would have to do so: var a a = 1 b = 2 - Exception Why would this declaration be necessary on the shell and in the function/method? Declaring a variable means adding that variable to the namespace, i.e. the underlying dictionary. There is one in each object, the locals() of a function or even the __dict__ of a module. The downside of this is that Python has no such thing as a variable without a value. Still you would need such a thing for this approach var a a - should raise an variable 'unset' exception The underlying dictionary would need the ability to store keys (variable names) without values. This approach increases the code length considerably, just to catch the typos. Keep in mind that the module you are writing in is just an object as is any function or method. So using local variables therein you are doing exactly what you want to abandon from the OOP part. Hmm, this looks really appealing. But if so why setattr() still exists? What is it for if we can do the same thing via assignments? Also, in order to be perfect, Python should accept to add dynamic attributes dynamically, something like PEP 363. That doesn't happen.

Infinite prime number generator
I've been toying with Haskell a bit, and after implementing (essentially) the Sieve of Eratosthenes as an infinite list, thus: primes = 1 : foldr elim_mult [] [2..] where elim_mult n l = n : filter ((/=0) . (`mod` n)) l I wondered how easy it would be to do the same thing in Python. Obviously, Python doesn't have Haskell's infinite lists as such, and normally evaluates expressions eagerly instead of lazily, but it's still, with generators, relatively simple do create infinite sequences (which aren't, strictly speaking, sequences) So, here's the same thing as a Python generator, in a simple imperative style: def primes(): yield 1 i = 2 old = set() while True: for p in old: if (i % p) == 0: break else: old.add(i) yield i i += 1 Haskell: *Main take 10 primes [1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23] *Main Python: from itertools import islice list(islice(primes(), 0, 10)) [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23] So far, so good. But then I thought, how close to the haskell version can a Python generator get? foldr is like functools.reduce, except that it's right-associative. In Haskell, it works for infinite lists because Haskell is a lazy bastard, but it's not that difficult to express the exactly same thing with recursive generators: if isinstance(filter(None, []), list): # Python 2 from itertools import ifilter as filter def rprimes(): def elim_mult(n): yield n for p in filter((lambda x:x%n != 0), elim_mult(n+1)): yield p yield 1 for p in elim_mult(2): yield p This sort of works: list(islice(rprimes(), 0, 10)) [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23] But it has a bit of a problem: sl = islice(rprimes(), None, None, 150) #step=150 next(sl) 1 next(sl) 863 next(sl) [..] File primes.py, line 21, in elim_mult for p in filter((lambda x:x%n != 0), elim_mult(n+1)): yield p File primes.py, line 21, in elim_mult for p in filter((lambda x:x%n != 0), elim_mult(n+1)): yield p File primes.py, line 21, in elim_mult for p in filter((lambda x:x%n != 0), elim_mult(n+1)): yield p RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded If you happen to have a copy of stackless lying around, I'd expect it to work! -- Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

(Please teach me if I am wrong here.) This why I said the questionable thing is not so much related with dynamic programming or not. Because it makes dynamicism harder to do. Like I said, Python's goal isn't simply to make dynamicism possible, it's to make it easy. foo.new_attr = 'blah' is easier than using setattr. I do agree it's easier, but why do we need this to be easy? This is really my question. The question is fundamentally invalid, really. Why do we need this-- What does need have to do with it? We use the standard assignment and deletion semantics because there's no reason not to; the syntax is readable, understandable, straight-forward, and useful. Why not make it harder-- you've basically asked repeatedly. Why would we make it harder? There's no reason to. There's no reason to change to setattr by default, for although it would make Python dynamic, it would be harder to be dynamic. When given a choice between easier and harder the answer is simply, always, easier. It is not for us to defend *why* -- easier wins, period. If you think that harder would be better, it is for you to defend why it *needs* to be harder. Not vice versa. It is easier is, by itself, the end of the justification. There need be no other, unless there is some compelling reason why making a certain thing easier is *bad* -- this is a real consideration that is made on occasion, but the burden of proof is on you. Also, since it is easier, why not drop the harder one, setattr()? Why would we? There are some corner cases where setattr is easier then other options (such as thing.__dict__[key]).

Photo: Patrick McMullan This morning, a lot of the papers said the Justice Department's complaint about the Russian spies read like a Cold War thriller. But between their yapping about their work in cafés, their decision to write anti-American editorials in newspapers (because no one will notice if they're in Spanish!) and the plain fact that, over ten years, none of these ten intelligence agents actually gathered any intelligence (they're being charged with being unregistered, not with obtaining classified materials), it's more like a Cold War–era comedy, in the vein of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Let's take a look at some of the gang's most awkward moments. It appears the incompetence came from the top. For instance, someone at the S.V.R. actually sent them this directive: “You were sent to U.S.A. for long-term service trip,” it said. “Your education, bank accounts, car, house etc. — all these serve one goal: fulfill your main mission, i.e. to search and develop ties in policymaking circles and send intels [intelligence reports] to C[enter].” Thanks for the expository dialogue, super-secret agency! While several of them quite successfully immersed themselves in American culture, particularly the Murphys, whom neighbors called suburbia personified (“They couldn’t have been spies,” one neighbor quipped, awesomely, “Look what she did with the hydrangeas”), others explained away their weirdness with flimsy excuses, like Tracey Foley, of Cambridge. According to a neighbor: “She said they were from Canada.” Right, because that worked for the Coneheads. Then there's the methods they used to conduct their work, which were so over-the-top dramatic (briefcase-switching, short-wave-radio-using) that they may as well have been wearing signs reading, We Are SPIES. The Post picks up on the following, which it calls a particularly slick spy exchange between one Anna Chapman and a fellow spy. Chapman pulled a laptop out of a tote bag in a bookstore at Warren and Greenwich streets in the West Village while her handler lurked outside, receiving her message on his own computer, the feds said. Wait, how is that slick, exactly? He was standing right outside. If she had just gone and told him in person, then the Feds mightn't have gotten hold of the e-mail using what according to the complaint was a common commercially available wireless-connection interceptor that even Ali Wise owns. Chapman, we are sorry to say, seems to be one of the least bright bulbs in this box. In addition to the above scenario, she 1) registered a cell phone under the preposterous address of 99 Fake Street, and in the end, fell hard for a ridiculous scenario posed to her by undercover U.S. agents. The undercover instructed her on how she would recognize her fellow spy and how to report back on the handoff, the feds said. Haven’t we met in California last summer? the spy expecting the fake passport was supposed to say. Chapman was to respond, No, I think it was the Hamptons, according to the FBI. Oh, that dialogue. It's like they are making fun of her to her face. It gets worse: Chapman allegedly was also supposed to hold a magazine

Nope, I would like Python not to allow adding a new attribute via an assignment by default, detecting the typo is a side-effect. Python does not do restrictions by default, period.

What is it for if we can do the same thing via assignments? Also, in order to be perfect, Python should accept to add dynamic attributes dynamically, something like PEP 363. That doesn't happen. What does perfection have to do with anything? Python does not strive for perfection. More then that, it rejects the entire idea of perfection when it gets in the way of simply solving problems in an easy, clean, readable, and reliable way. Practicality beats purity. PEP 363 proposes adding new syntax: for new syntax to be accepted into the language one must meet a *very* high bar. One must show a clear, compelling reason why this new mental burden is worth increasing the complexity of the language. Syntax won't get added to make the language more perfect to some ideals (especially not ideals to some paradigm like OOP, as opposed to its own internal ideals of readability, ease and practicality). Syntax is a burden. Every change in syntax, every addition in syntax, requires everyone's to mental investment to increase: it costs more mental energy to use the language, to fully understand it, then it did before. There has to be some real use-case, some *real* code out in the *real* world which is doing something, and its hard-- and you have to do this hard thing often enough that you are burdened by it-- and only then is it reasonable to ask for syntax to be added to Python to make it easier. Alternatively, if there's something that's not even possible for you to to today, but you have a *real* problem you'd like to solve, a *real* need to do something new: then you can ask for something to be added to the language. Barring that, its not worth the cost of making the language bigger. PEP 363 didn't meet that burden: sure, there's times when you need to do that-- I've done it several times-- but the solutions that exist to solve that problem (setattr) are good-enough that it isn't really much of a burden to do. Moreover, during the discussion of PEP 363, someone proposed (Raymond Hettinger, I think) an excellent recipe which not only made the 'good enough' quite a bit easier, but which a lot of people thought was even cleaner then syntax. So, PEP363 went the way of the dodo. Is Python perhaps less perfect, pure, with that addition to the language denied? Who cares? Perfection is what the Borg* worship, I like understandable. :) -- ...

Wait, how is that slick, exactly? He was standing right outside. If she had just gone and told him in person, then the Feds mightn't have gotten hold of the e-mail using what according to the complaint was a common commercially available wireless-connection interceptor that even Ali Wise owns.

But all that comes back is an exit code. They should have had something similar coming back, with arguments to exit() returning the results. Then the many small intercommunicating programs concept would have worked much better. Like others said, you have standard output. sys.stdout for data, sys.stderr for human-readable errors and warnings, and the exit code for machine-readable errors. C was like that once. In the 1970s, all you could return was an int or a float. But that got fixed. Huh? The C we have today cannot return a float, and not even a full int. 0 and 1 work, small integers up to 255 are likely to work, but beyond that common systems (Unix) will chop off the high bits.

Try dir(usrp2) or help(usrp2), that will tell you what the module provides.
If you're after wrapping the library yourself, take a look at ctypes and

(and I agree that this sort of function should come standard with datetime) I modified the code to accept microseconds, too, and I can use it now by trying to parse my candidate string and if it throws an exception, rejecting that string as invalid. It works fine on strings that are not even close to my format, like '0 min'. But it doesn't throw an exception on something like: '0:00:03.695000extrajunk' I'd like it to be pickier than that with the validation and only accept strings which are truly string representations of timedelta objects. But I have not learned regex yet, so am not sure how to modify parseTimeDetla so it wouldn't work with '0:00:03.695000extrajunk'. My question: is there a simple way to modify the parseTimeDelta so that it will work ONLY with a string that would be the string representation of a timedelta object?

Photo: Patrick McMullan This morning, a lot of the papers said the Justice Department's complaint about the Russian spies read like a Cold War thriller. But between their yapping about their work in cafés, their decision to write anti-American editorials in newspapers (because no one will notice if they're in Spanish!) and the plain fact that, over ten years, none of these ten intelligence agents actually gathered any intelligence (they're being charged with being unregistered, not with obtaining classified materials), it's more like a Cold War–era comedy, in the vein of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Let's take a look at some of the gang's most awkward moments. It appears the incompetence came from the top. For instance, someone at the S.V.R. actually sent them this directive: “You were sent to U.S.A. for long-term service trip,” it said. “Your education, bank accounts, car, house etc. — all these serve one goal: fulfill your main mission, i.e. to search and develop ties in policymaking circles and send intels [intelligence reports] to C[enter].” Thanks for the expository dialogue, super-secret agency! While several of them quite successfully immersed themselves in American culture, particularly the Murphys, whom neighbors called suburbia personified (“They couldn’t have been spies,” one neighbor quipped, awesomely, “Look what she did with the hydrangeas”), others explained away their weirdness with flimsy excuses, like Tracey Foley, of Cambridge. According to a neighbor: “She said they were from Canada.” Right, because that worked for the Coneheads.

Okay, I will. Your code passes a char** when a char* is expected. Every
compiler I know of will give you a *warning*. Mistaking char*, char**,
and char[] is a common mistake that almost every C program makes in the
beginning. Now for the proof:
Consider this variation where I use a dynamically allocated buffer
instead of static:
#include stdio.h
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
char *buf = malloc(512 * sizeof(char));
const int a = 2, b = 3;
snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, %d + %d = %d\n, a, b, a + b);
fprintf(stdout, buf);
free(buf);
return 0;
} /*main*/
On my machine, an immediate segfault (stack overrun). Your code only
works because your buf is statically allocated, which means buf==buf.
But this equivalance does not hold for any other situation. If your
buffer was dynamically allocated on the heap, instead of passing a
pointer to the buffer (which *is* what buf itself is), you are passing a
pointer to the pointer, which is where buf is stored on the stack, but
not the buffer itself. Instant stack corruption.

Hard or not -- I don't want to know, because I don't want to do it. But no-one has yet managed to come up with an alternative that involves less work. Your case is still not persuasive. How is using the DB API's placeholders and parameterization more work? It's the same amount of keystrokes, perhaps even less. You would just be substituting the API's parameter placeholders for Python's. In fact with Psycopg2 and the mysql python db apis, it's almost a matter of simply removing the % and putting in a comma, turning python's string substitution into a method call. And you can leave out the quotes around where the variables go. If I have to sanitize every input, I have to do it on each and every field on each and every form action. With the DB API doing the work I just do it once, in one place. Is this not easier that manually escaping everything and then embedding it in the query string?

This little diversion is fun though. C is pretty powerful and I enjoy

Probably the most mind-bogglingly stupid thing about the standard C library, which has lots of mind-boggling stupidity. I don't think it was as stupid as that back when C was designed. Every byte of memory was precious in those days, and if you had, say, 10 bytes allocated for a string, you wanted to be able to use all 10 of them for useful data. So the convention was that a NUL byte was used to mark the end of the string *if it didn't fill all the available space*. I can't think of any function in the standard library that observes that convention, which inclines me to disbelieve this convention ever really existed. If it did, there would be functions to support it. For that matter, I'm not really inclined to believe bytes were *that* precious in those days. Functions such as strncpy and snprintf are designed for use with strings that follow this convention. Proper usage requires being cognizant of the maximum length and using appropriate length-limited functions for all operations on such strings. Well, no. Being cognizant of the string's maximum length doesn't make you able to pass it to printf, or system, or any other C function. The obvious rationale behind strncpy's stupid behavior is that it's not a string function at all, but a memory block function, that stops at a NUL in case you don't care what's after the NUL in a block.

[issue5180] 3.1 cannot unpickle 2.7-created pickle
Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: Well, this is not so obviously wrong as you make it sound. If you look closer at object_new(), you will see that in sane situations it reduces to type-tp_alloc(type, 0) call. Today, yes. But tomorrow it may entail additional operations. If such sanity check is necessary, I would rather check the flag explicitly in _pickle.c rather than having to generate dummy args and kwds to satisfy tp_new signature. I find it better to generate dummy args and kwds to satisfy tp_new signature. I see no point in a partial inlining of an internal function when we could call it instead. So, IMO, the right thing to do would be to choose the first base type that isn't a Python-defined class and use its tp_new: staticbase = subtype; while (staticbase (staticbase-tp_flags Py_TPFLAGS_HEAPTYPE)) staticbase = staticbase-tp_base; (these two lines are from tp_new_wrapper() in typeobject.c) This looks like overengineering to me. I think 3.x should simply refuse to unpickle old style class instances into anything that is not subclassed in python directly from object. Right, but it would lead to almost the same code... Since you have to find the first non-Python base type and check that it is object. It would be helpful at this point if you could provide a test case where tp_alloc logic does not work. I'll try to find one. PPS: What is you opinion on the pickle.py trick of monkey patching __class__ on an instance of an empty class? Do you think this can be fooled?
